Trial Outcomes & Findings for Polyethylene Wear Study on the Triathlon Total Knee Prosthesis (NCT NCT02525588)

NCT ID: NCT02525588

Last Updated: 2024-02-22

Results Overview

RSA is a highly accurate technique for the assessment of three-dimensional migration and micro motion of a joint replacement prosthesis relative to the bone it is attached to. Because of the high accuracy, RSA can also be used to measure wear in knee replacements and is used in this study for the assessment of the wear of the two polyethylene inlay types N2Vac polyethylene and X3 polyethylene.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1, 2 and 5 years follow-up

Population: Negative wear values represent a decrease in liner thickness (= wear).

RSA is a highly accurate technique for the assessment of three-dimensional migration and micro motion of a joint replacement prosthesis relative to the bone it is attached to. Because of the high accuracy, RSA can also be used to measure wear in knee replacements and is used in this study for the assessment of the wear of the two polyethylene inlay types N2Vac polyethylene and X3 polyethylene.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 and 6 months,1, 2 and 5 years follow-up

Population: The migration of the prosthesis components was calculated with a minimum of four RSA bone markers. In some cases only 3 RSA bone markers was used to calculate the migration, leading to inaccurate orientation matching of the bone markers. These patients are not included in the results describing the two different liner groups.

RSA is a highly accurate technique for the assessment of three-dimensional migration and micro motion of a joint replacement prosthesis relative to the bone it is attached to. This study evaluates the prosthetic migration results with focus of the two years results of the Triathlon CS Peri-Apatite coated tibial and femoral components.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Pre-operative, 6 weeks, 3 and 6 months, 1, 2 and 5 years

Population: Participants with available data. Overall number of participants and units analyzed is based upon the preoperative population.

The Knee Society Clinical Rating System is comprised of two distinct sub-scores: one for pain, range of motion (ROM) and joint stability, and one for functional parameters. Sub-scores range from a potential minimum score of 0 to a maximum score of 100 points. Although the specific scores are not distinguished as "excellent," "good," "fair," or "poor," a higher value represents a better outcome.

The EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D) is a subject-completed questionnaire designed to assess subject health state values. The EQ-5D consists of 2 areas; EQ-5D descriptive system and the visual analogue scale (VAS). The EQ-5D descriptive system comprises the following five dimensions: mobility self care, usual activities, pain/comfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 3 levels indicating no problems, some problems or extreme problems. The index values on a scale between -1 (low) and 1 (high) are showing the average health status according to the 5 dimensions: A low score shows worse health and a high score shows better health. With the EQ VAS the respondents can report their perceived health status with a grade ranging from 0 (the worst possible health status) to 100 (the best possible health status).
